FAQ Section

Q: What is compound interest?
A: Compound interest is the process where the value of an investment increases because the earnings on an investment, both capital gains and interest, earn interest as time passes.

Q: How does compounding frequency affect my investment?
A: The more frequently interest is compounded, the greater the final amount. For example, monthly compounding yields more than annual compounding for the same rate and duration.

Q: Is the interest rate annual?
A: Yes, the interest rate should be entered as an annual percentage.
